PowerX by jwitt98This strategy attempts to replicate the PowerX strategy as described in the book by by Markus Heitkoetter
Three indicators are used:
RSI (7) - An RSI above 50 indicates and uptrend. An RSI below 50 indicates a downtrend.
Slow Stochastics (14, 3, 3) - A %K above 50 indicates an uptrend. A %K below 50 indicates a downtrend.
MACD (12, 26, 9) - A MACD above the signal line indicates an uptrend. A MACD below the signal line indicates a downtrend
In addition, multiples of ADR (7) is used for setting the stops and profit targets
Setup:
When all 3 indicators are indicating an uptrend, the OHLC bar is green.
When all 3 indicators are indicating a downtrend, the OHLC bar is red.
When one or more indicators are conflicting, the OHLC bar is black
The basic rules are:
When the OHLC bar is green and the preceding bar is black or Red, enter a long stop-limit order .01 above the high of the first green bar
When the OHLC bar is red and the preceding bar is black or green, enter a short stop-limit order .01 below the low of the first red bar
If a red or black bar is encountered while in a long trade, or a green or black bar for a short trade, exit the trade at the close of that bar with a market order.
Stop losses are set by default at a multiple of 1.5 times the ADR.
Profit targets are set by default at a multiple of 3 times the ADR.
Options:
You can adjust the start and end dates for the trading range
You can configure this strategy for long only, short only, or both long and short.
You can adjust the multiples used to set the stop losses and profit targets.
There is an option to use a money management system very similar to the one described in the PowerX book. Some assumptions had to be made for cases where the equity is underwater as those cases are not clearly defined in the book. There is an option to override this behavior and keep the risk at or above the set point (2% by default), rather than further reduce the risk when equity is underwater. Position sizing is limited when using money management so as not to exceed the current strategy equity. The starting risk can be adjusted from the default of 2%.
Final notes: If you find any errors, have any questions, or have suggestions for improvements, please leave your message in the comments.
Happy trading!

Confluence CandlesThis indicator looks for confluence among three indicators (RSI, Stochastic, and MACD), a strategy popularized by Markus Heitkoetter in his book, “The PowerX Strategy: How to Trade Stocks and Options in Only 15 Minutes a Day”, and expands it to look for agreement on up to four symbols.
Each indicator is configurable in the settings, as well as the ability to choose which of the indicators are used.
Default Logic
Green Candles
RSI > 50
Stochastic > 50
MACD Histogram > 0
Red Candles
RSI < 50
Stochastic < 50
MACD Histogram < 0
When multiple symbols are selected, the above needs to be true for all selected symbols.
Example Use Cases
- Setting the indicator to the Nasdaq 100 (QQQ or NQ1!) while trading a stock that is part of that index such as AAPL or TSLA
- Setting the indicator to multiple indexes that tend to move together in order to trade one of them since they tend to make stronger moves when moving together (ex. SPY & QQQ, or ES1! & NQ1!)
- Setting the indicator to Bitcoin while trading a smaller crypto pair that moves as a sympathy play.
Tip
If you have trouble finding the full name for a specific instrument from an exchange such as BTCUSD from Coinbase, you can bring up TradingView’s “Symbol Search” pop-up modal, enter your search term, use the down arrow key on your keyboard to move the focus to the symbol you want, and you will see the full name in the search field such as “COINBASE:BTCUSD”.
PowerX Strategy BacktestThis script implements the Power X trading strategy by Markus Heitkoetter and Rockwell Trading. The strategy is described in detail in "The PowerX Strategy: How to Trade Stocks and Options in Only 15 Minutes a Day" written by Markus Heitkoetter.
The Power X trading strategy uses RSI, Slow Stochastic and MACD indicators. When RSI and Slow Stochastic are both greater than 50 and MACD crosses up the signal line, it signals an up-trend. If RSI and slow stochastic are both less than 50 and MACD crosses down the signal line, it signals a down-trend. Other conditions signal no trend. There is an official version of this indicator available: PowerX Strategy Bar Coloring OFFICIAL VERSION.
This script opens a long entry with an up-trend momentum and a short entry with down-trend momentum. Trades are exited when profit target or stop loss is reached. Profit target and stop loss are calculated based on 7 days Average Daily Range (ADR). If the momentum is lost, a trade is exited the next day. The quantity of assets to buy/sell is calculated based on the stop loss to limit the risk to a user defined percentage of the initial capital.
There is another implementation of the Power X trading strategy available by therealhaolu: Power X Strategy Back-test. However, according to the comments this script seems to have some flaws.
PowerX Strategy Bar Coloring [OFFICIAL VERSION]This script colors the bars according to the PowerX Strategy by Markus Heitkoetter:
The PowerX Strategy uses 3 indicators:
- RSI (7)
- Stochastics (14, 3, 3)
- MACD (12, 26 , 9)
The bars are colored GREEN if...
1.) The RSI (7) is above 50 AND
2.) The Stochastic (14, 3, 3) is above 50 AND
3.) The MACD (12, 26, 9) is above its Moving Average, i.e. MACD Histogram is positive.
The bars are colored RED if...
1.) The RSI (7) is below 50 AND
2.) The Stochastic (14, 3, 3) is below 50 AND
3.) The MACD (12, 26, 9) is below its Moving Average, i.e. MACD Histogram is negative.
If only 2 of these 3 conditions are met, then the bars are black (default color)
We highly recommend plotting the indicators mentioned above on your chart, too, so that you can see when bars are getting close to being "RED" or "GREEN", e.g. RSI is getting close to the 50 line.
